1974-1977 Chevrolet Vega EFI Fuel Tank Kit with 255 LPH Pump
Converting a 1974-1977 Chevrolet Vega to electronic fuel injection often exposes the stock tank as a weak link, and this Vega EFI Fuel Tank Kit with 255 LPH Pump delivers both the capacity and flow required to support up to 550 horsepower setups. Its galvanized steel construction coated in a silver finish resists corrosion and retains the original 19 gallon profile, so no custom brackets or frame modifications are needed. Featuring a 255 LPH Walbro pump within the tank module, this kit maintains stable pressure under high load and preserves trunk clearance for authentic Vega appearance. Installation aligns with factory mounting points and uses the original filler neck and straps to streamline the conversion process. Note: the filler neck and tank straps are not included.
Precision Direct Fit Installation for 1974 to 1977 Vega Models
This fuel tank kit is engineered to match the exact footprint of the original Vega unit, aligning with factory mounting rails and body supports without modification. By preserving the stock tank profile and using the original filler neck and fuel tank straps, installers can complete the conversion with minimal fabrication work. The precise mounting alignment not only saves time but also maintains the structural integrity of the chassis, ensuring consistent support under dynamic driving loads and preserving the classic underbody configuration.
Galvanized Steel Tank with Durable Silver Finish
Constructed from heavy gauge galvanized steel, the tank offers remarkable resistance to corrosion from road debris, moisture and fuel vapors. The silver finish, applied through a multi stage powder coat process, creates a tough barrier against scratches and environmental wear, prolonging service life even in harsh conditions. This protective layer also retains its appearance without frequent touch ups, so the underbody keeps its authentic look over time. Choosing coated steel ensures that the tank can withstand thermal cycling and resist pitting, which is critical when supporting higher pressure fuel pumps and ethanol blends commonly used in performance applications.
255 LPH Walbro Pump Ensuring Stable Flow Under Load
At the heart of this kit is a 255 LPH Walbro fuel pump capable of delivering consistent fuel flow to engines rated up to 550 horsepower. Its in-tank placement pushes fuel toward the engine inlet, reducing the risk of vapor lock and cavitation that can occur with external feed systems. This design maintains a steady supply during hard acceleration, steep inclines and track use, preventing lean spikes that threaten engine health. The high capacity output supports sustained high rpm operation without pressure drop, giving drivers the confidence that their powertrain will receive the precise volume needed for peak performance.
Comprehensive Kit Components for Streamlined EFI Conversion
This all inclusive kit brings together every element required to upgrade from carburetion to fuel injection: the 255 LPH Walbro pump, in-tank pump module, sending unit, vent filter, gaskets and mounting hardware. Each part has been selected to mirror the original equipment form and function, eliminating the hassle of sourcing compatible accessories. The included vent filter maintains proper tank ventilation under varying pressures, while the precision sending unit ensures accurate level readings on the factory gauge. By supplying all critical components, this kit simplifies logistics and supports a clean installation that performs as reliably as the factory setup.
